Chapter 319 The Gift of Dunlon
After completing a bloody and cruel suppression, Boluo ordered the Green Camp Army to send the food sold by Zheng Zhilong to the capital as soon as possible. He himself returned to the capital to report to Dorgon.
After hearing Boluo's remarks, Dorgon was naturally mixed.
What he was happy about was that Zheng Zhilong did not break his promise and ordered the fleet to transport the food to Tianjin on time, eliminating the Qing army's urgent needs.
It was hard for him to imagine what a terrible situation the Qing Dynasty would face without Zheng Zhilong's assistance.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. With this first cooperation, the two sides will have less worries when they cooperate again.
The Zheng family fleet was large enough that a one-time transfer could solve the food problem of the Qing army for several months. As for the price three times the market, Dorgon recognized it.
Fujian itself is not a major grain-producing province, and Zheng Zhilong is probably also purchasing grain from Huguang and Guangdong.
In this way, the price of Zheng Zhilong's purchase of grain was much higher than the market price, and the price of selling it to the Qing court was not unacceptable.
Dorgon also knew that with the strength and channels of the Zheng family, he could do more profitable transactions, or simply rely on taxes to survive. There was no need to take risks and sell food to the Qing army.
The reason why Zheng Zhilong did this was definitely not because he wanted to seek a double price difference, but because he wanted to establish a good relationship with the Qing army in advance and make arrangements for possible emergencies in the future.
If the Ming army eventually defeated the Qing army, then Zheng Zhilong would not suffer any losses. It would be impossible to convict Zheng Zhilong by relying on some gossips that caught the wind and shadow. The Ming court would not rashly take action against Fujian.
If the Qing Dynasty finally conquered the world, Zheng Zhilong could become a hero.
This is a good plan for two boats.
In the final analysis, it is because Zheng Zhilong or the Zheng family are too strong. Both the Ming court and the Qing court want to try their best to strive for it.
As for the porter, the rebellion launched by the strong baton in Tianjin made Dorgon angry.
These lowest-level untouchables were like lambs on weekdays, but now they attacked the Qing army to seize rice and grain.
If Boro hadn't become a body, and the timely orders of flag soldiers to bombard the momentum of these untouchables, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After thinking about it carefully, Dorgon still felt that the local management of these untouchables was too relaxed.
If these people are managed like animals, they will definitely not dare to cause trouble.
When it is time to move the knife, when it is time to kill, you must kill it. You must not be merciful.
As for the formation, training a navy must naturally be put on the agenda.
Dorgon did not hesitate to write a handwritten letter and ordered people to send it to Fujian and hand it over to Zheng Zhilong.
Dorgon didn't need Zheng Zhilong to sell the ship directly. This was too obvious. He only needed to provide some shipbuilding craftsmen.
Even Dorgon bought these people from Zheng Zhilong.
Boluo left an excellent impression on Dorgon this time, much better than the useless and arrogant Luke Dehun.
Dorgon even felt a little regretful. If Boluo had sent troops to attack Linqing, would the result be different?
Of course, there is no point in thinking about these things now. Dorgon can only cultivate more young people like Boluo in future battles.
After all, Duoduo and Ajige still need newcomers to the Aisin Gioro family in this lifetime.
Zhu Cilang has been busy these days.
He never thought that getting married would exhaust people from being exhausted.
Just a whole set of rituals, I felt like I was peeling off a layer of skin.
Fortunately, the queen is also very polite and cooperates well on all occasions, and nothing goes wrong.
As for the necessary rituals of honor after the wedding, there is not much to say.
The posture and movements were all set, and there was no deviation in the slightest. There were still people who recorded their daily life notes in the house, so they couldn't be excited.
Zhu Cilang is more about fulfilling the obligations of an emperor and husband to spread the power of the emperor.
However, Queen Tongtang was a little shy.
After all, it was the first time in my daughter's house. My eyes were closed throughout the whole process, and Zhu Cilang let the rain and dew spread.
But the situation improved a lot after the second day.
The queen even took the initiative to change clothes for Zhu Cilang.
Zhu Cilang has nothing to ask for.
This was basically the case in ancient times, especially in emperors’ marriages, and practicality was the first priority.
Two people who have never been masked come together and become husband and wife, and they have to hold hands and walk for the rest of their lives.
The situation of private visits everywhere in private places that can only appear in bloody romance dramas.
Zhu Cixuan had only one requirement for the queen, that is, to conceive his child as soon as possible.
The most common comments from officials in the court recently said that the emperor has no imperial heir. Zhu Cixuan had a few disputes but was too lazy to fight again, so he simply completed the task and blocked the mouths of these people.
His first child must have been born in the central palace. This is because according to the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son would be made the crown prince.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always been very determined in the issue of whether to establish a legitimate or a eldest son, that is, to establish a legitimate but not a legitimate.
The reason for this is to prevent princes from killing each other in order to fight for the throne.
Judging from the actual results, it is also very good.
Except for a few dynasties, the imperial power changes in the Ming Dynasty were basically very stable.
Of course, Zhu Cilang had no intention of changing this. He believed that ability was cultivated and trained in acquired terms, rather than dependent on talent.
In the future, he will personally inquire about the training of the crown prince. He must not use the guise of women or corrupt scholars.
After the morning court today, Zhu Cixuan did not return to the inner palace but went to the Ministry of Works.
Gao Hongtu, Minister of Works, led officials from the Ministry of Works to welcome the officials in front of the official office.
After Zhu Cixuan gave them a flattery, he called Gao Hongtu to his side and asked, "Gaoqing, how did the water wheel I ordered you to make?"
Gao Hongtu hurriedly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, there are still some details to be dealt with in the water truck, but it is done in general."
It turned out that a few days ago, Zhu Cixuan sent the hand-painted water truck artwork to the Ministry of Works, and ordered Gao Hongtu to be fully responsible for the manufacturing matters.
Gao Hongtu had long been accustomed to this situation and was not surprised at all. He immediately organized manpower to start manufacturing.
In the past, the emperor personally drew manuscripts and the work department made everything according to it was proved to be of great use.
This time there should be no exception.
The slight difference is that in the past, the Ministry of Industry built it for the military, but this time it was obviously for farmers to use for irrigation.
In fact, water truck irrigation was used before this dynasty, but due to technical conditions, it has not been widely promoted.
The manuscripts drawn by His Majesty the Emperor obviously made considerable adjustments to the structure of the previous water trucks. Gao Hongtu looked forward to the actual use effect of the water trucks after they were actually built.
"Oh? Then take me to take a look."
